Official Sweden has a better sense of humor than official Britain. They asked the public to name four trains running between Stockholm and Gothenburg, and when Trainy McTrainface won, they didn’t launch a coup. One train is now Trainy McTrainface.
If you want the back story, you’ll find it here. And a bit more of it over there as well.
We now return to our regularly scheduled midweek silence, but this was too important to wait.
Notes from the U.K. 
Yeay for Trainy!!
:-D

Ugh, my phone first turned that into sweetie so it gets half the blame for my spelling error – which I hate to make on your page.

Good to see that some ‘official’ officiants aren’t StuffyShirt McStuffyShirts.

Oooh, I like that. Could we try Stuffy McShirtface by way of a nickname? It’s got a great rhythm.

Oops. Just realized this was in response to Stuffy McShirtface, not Trainy McTrainface, so I had to go back and edit my initial response. So after three seconds’ deep consideration, my answer is that I don’t know but I wish I did.

Haha I saw that earlier – Sweden definitely wins. But on the other side, they eat rotten fish on purpose so it all evens out.

Do they? Well, no one’s perfect. At least I’ll bet they laugh about it.

Neighbour participating in a “road race” of sorts…with junker cars/vans over Oregon Cascade mountain forest roads. Needed a name for the van his team was using. I suggested “Vanny McVanface”. He obviously didn’t understand the importance of the suggestion…and walked away in disbelief. He’s no longer on any “good” list of mine….like the Christmas present one. His loss…

In Vancouver, close to where I live, is “Boaty McBoatface.” Seriously. Sigh!
